Peerless War God

In the depths of the Endless Sea, in front of an unknown stone cave, the dejected Ao Xi bowed his head respectfully.    

After giving up on the life-and-death struggle with Ao Yu, he felt a little disheartened, and even lost his fighting spirit.    

On one hand, he felt that he should bear a great responsibility for the Dragon Palace’s great defeat.    

On the other hand, because of the defeat, his prestige had been lost, and he had lost the trust of many dragons and sea demons. He could no longer lead the entire Dragon Palace.    

If he abdicated his position and gave up his power, he would be able to have a more dignified life. It was much better than fighting Ao Yu to the death, and in the end, it would benefit the human cultivators.    

At this moment, Ao Yu was extremely confused. He felt that his life was meaningless, and his future was even more bleak.    

The last bit of hope he had was to seek guidance from the Ancestor.    

Therefore, he came to the Ancestor’s hiding place and tried to seek an audience with the Ancestor.    

However, he was destined to be disappointed. No matter how he shouted, he could not get any response.    

After hesitating for a moment, Ao Xi knelt down on the ground and bowed his head.    

“Ancestor, please enlighten me. Please enlighten me.”    

His face was filled with sorrow. This was already the limit of what he could do. He gave up his position and dignity just to ask for an answer.    

If he could not even do this, Ao Xi would truly be in despair.    

Ao Xi knocked his head on the cold stone, refusing to lift it up for a long time.    

Just as he was about to give up, a sigh was heard from an unknown place.    

“Why are you doing this? Even if you come to beg me, I will not help you.”    

The Dragon Clan’s Ancestor said coldly.    

Hearing this, Ao Xi suddenly raised his head, and his eyes burst out with a bright light, as if he had hope.    

“Greetings, Ancestor. I am not here to beg you to help me. I only want you to give me the Dragon Palace and give me a way out for the Dragon Clan. I beg you to guide me.”    

At this day, the Dragon Palace had reached such a state. Not only was it suppressed by the Sea God Temple, it was also defeated by the Purple Cloud City’s forces from Tianhai Island. It could be said that it was a complete defeat.    

If it was defeated again, the Dragon Palace would really be finished, and the Dragon Clan would not exist anymore. It would be like an egg being placed in a basket.    

He only wanted to seek a way out for the Dragon Palace and the Dragon Clan, and he no longer had any more extravagant hopes.    

In the next moment, a phantom image of the Dragon Clan’s Ancestor appeared in front of Ao Xi, and he looked at him coldly. He sighed and said, “Ao Xi, as the master of the Dragon Palace, don’t you understand that you have reached this point?”    

Ao Xi’s entire body trembled, and he felt as if he was struck by lightning. His eyes were filled with pain and regret.    

Countless memories surged over like a tide, causing him to continuously recall them.    

However, the more it was like this, the more painful he felt.    

The old saying went, “One wrong step, and one step is wrong.” He could be considered to have comprehended the true meaning of this saying.    

“Please enlighten me, Ancestor.” Aoxi slowly raised his head and said with a look of unwillingness.    

The Ancestor shook his head and said, “Looks like you are still continuing to be stubborn. There is an ancient saying in the human race, ‘If the heavens are at fault, you can live. If you are at fault, you cannot live.’ The Dragon Palace has come to this step because of its own fault. If you still don’t see this clearly, you really won’t be able to save yourself.”    

Hearing this, Aoxi’s entire body trembled, and his eyes were filled with disbelief.    

He suddenly raised his head and questioned, “The human cultivators invaded our Endless Sea. Shouldn’t our Dragon Clan resist and fight to the end? Is everything wrong? Ancestor, do you think so?”    

The Ancestor’s gaze turned cold and he angrily rebuked, “Foolish! The human forces invaded the territories of our Dragon Clan and Sea Clan, and they should have retaliated. But what about you? A group of Royal Clans have occupied the most cultivation resources, yet you didn’t advance or retreat. You only seek pleasure and cause grievances, and you even split out a Sea God Palace. Heh, do you think you are qualified to say whether it’s right or wrong?”    

The Ancestor angrily rebuked, and it made Aoxi feel ashamed and even a trace of innocence.    

He opened his mouth, wanting to defend himself.    

After all, the matter of the Sea God Palace splitting up had nothing to do with him, and he wasn’t the Dragon Palace’s Master at that time.    

The one who took charge of this matter was the previous Dragon Palace’s Master, and he had long since become a rotten old man.    

From this point of view, this responsibility shouldn’t be borne by him.    

However, Ao Xi did not dare to say so. He did not dare to retort.    

Ancestor Ao Yi could also tell something. He sneered disdainfully and said, “What? You are very unconvinced. You think that this matter was made by the previous Dragon Palace Master, so it has nothing to do with you?”    

“I don’t dare,” Ao Xi lowered his head and said, not daring to refute.    

Ancestor sneered again and again. “Ao Xi, don’t forget how you became the Palace Master. Without your father’s support and the support of the rotten Royal Clans, you couldn’t have become the Palace Master. Heh, dream on. Without a doubt, you are the biggest beneficiary of all of this. You can’t get away from this.”    

“This… Ancestor is right,” Ao Xi sighed.    

He admitted that what Ancestor said was reasonable.    

Although he did not want to admit it, in fact, he could not get rid of it no matter what.    

“So, do you still not understand?” Ancestor asked.    

“Ancestor, please enlighten me,” Ao Xi said again.    

Ancestor turned his back to him and said indifferently, “If you don’t break, you won’t be able to establish. If you break, you will be able to establish. You have already taken the first step. At least, there is still some hope for the Dragon Palace, right?”    

“This…” Ao Xi’s eyes rolled crazily. Countless thoughts flashed through his mind. “Did you discuss this with Ao Yu?”    

Previously, Ao Yu’s resistance and his internal conflict seemed to have found a reason here.    

If Ao Yu had received the Ancestor’s instructions and was willing to resist him at all costs to change the current situation of the Dragon Palace, then everything would be understandable.    

However, the next words of the old ancestor dispelled his wild thoughts.    

“Ah Yu, I didn’t tell him anything. He did what he wanted to do, and it has nothing to do with me.”    

“How could this be?”    

Ao Xi was a bit confused, a bit panicked, and also deeply confused. He hurriedly said, “Since the old ancestor knows the path that the dragon clan should take, and if you don’t break it, you won’t be able to build it, why don’t you interfere? If the old ancestor makes a move, it will definitely be successful and avoid the disaster today.”    

This matter was something that Ao Xi couldn’t figure out no matter how he thought about it.    

He knew that with the strength and means of this mysterious old ancestor, it was simply too easy for him to control the dragon clan and the entire Dragon Palace.    

As long as the old ancestor had such a thought, there wouldn’t be any difficulty at all.    

However, even so, the old ancestor chose to watch coldly from the side and didn’t interfere at all.    

No matter how he thought about it, Ao Xi couldn’t figure it out.    

Hearing this, the old ancestor Ao Yi sighed heavily, and then he said with deep helplessness, “If an egg is broken from the outside, it will be food. Only if it is broken from the inside will it be reborn. Don’t you understand this principle?”    

“This…”    

Ao Xi was stunned on the spot and was speechless for a long time.    

So it turned out that the reason why the old ancestor was unwilling to interfere in the matters of the Dragon Palace was actually this reason. He let it be reborn and struggle to welcome new life.    

Only in this way would the entire dragon clan have hope, and it could be said that he had put in a lot of effort.
